Thanks ill keep an eye on him, at what ambient temperature does it become to high?

@dd33 Had a few quick questions, so do they truly not need a "basking spot", enclosure is ambient 86 during day and 80 at night, is that daytime too hot. Also wondering since they dont need a basking spot do they need a hot spot at all.

Thanks! Also wondering what I should aim for, for daytime/night time ambient temps like what range?

Hey all, enclosure is all finished and looks great. Was wondering now what kind of plants/grass etc would be good for in there, also wondering if you guys know of any simple things I can do for a hide. Thanks!

Thanks, setting up new greenhouse enclosure today and tmrw and will post finished photos and updates here!

Is ceramic infrared heat emitter and ceramic heat emitter the same thing?

so only real reason to go CHE over DHP is price then? also I have a solarmeter on the way to make sure UV bulb is correct height!

Also, just wondering, how come CHE over DHP?

Greenhouse comes tmrw and I plan on having a shower rod run through the top, and will mount UVB and LED to that, while also having the domes that have the CHEs hang from the rod. Substrate will be the coir and bark. Using clay pots for water and food and will provide diet that was talked about...

yea moving as fast as I can rn, he has a halogen that keeps his "basking spot" at 99F. His enclosure right now is ambient 82 and ranges 80-88 humidity through the day as I mist etc.

gotcha, so I could just use like 2 CHEs and run them day and night on thermostats? I dont have to have flood bulbs.

So should I get a flood bulb for the day and a CHE for the night or is it okay to just use a CHE for both day and night?

I feel the keeping the aquarium cool, had to get a chiller for my 200g saltwater.

How thick do you recommend it be. Like how thick for the coir and how thick for the orchid.

Substrate wise what do you recommend, currently using topsoil and bark mixed together, also wondering if I should include a drainage layer since it will be on a tarp indoors or what do you think is best for that setup
